well another week has come and gone. and the trucks have been busy! means the shop has been slow. the fedreal d.o.t man came by said we were satsfactory { another word for other dog}out of 350 logbooks only 4 where wrong!! but on a better note. the weather has been going my way i've picked up another 20'000lbs of scrap this week and the lot looks a lot less like a landfill. but i still have a long way to go but things are getting better! not much in the way of truck news. one of our star drivers cut a tire & busted a axle gasket.[nobody is perfect i guess] however much they seem to think they are. one of the family trucking companies was sold last month [H.H. Moore trucking] to PGT the first time i saw the name on the trucks i felt like there had been a new death in the family!!
that company had been in the family since 1946. it took my father his father & his father to build it and countless others. i guess the world is changing more and more each day. doesnt mean that it doesnt hurt to see it happen till next time keep um between the ditches and rollin on

The adventure of the week had to be unloadibg a ford flatbed truck.{ It was made sometime in the 60's not sure when} From a step deck trailer without the assistance of a loading dock. the tools required for this operation are common to a shop. however seldom used in this abstract.The adventure started at about 6:00 am & took some serous thought. before we came up with a good idea.
to make a long story short we took a forklift & a low boy trailer detached the low boy from the gooseneck picked up the low boy. then backed the step deck under the low boy. & drove the truck on to the low boy after that we lifted the low boy and pulled the step deck out from under the low boy from there it was a simple matter of drive'n the truck of the low boy! adventure complete

what ever happend to screws seems everything today is held together with little plastic clips. who made up there mind that srews & bolts were so bad. for instance i had to repair a headlight to day. the hole thing was plastic there wasn't a srew or bolt on the hole assembly. what gives was the old four headlight syestem so bad does everything have to be made of plastic. i think the old iron way worked well for a long time. they were easy to work on .they looked good & got the job done!!
